The Beginning

This is the beginning of something new - for me, anyway. My first blog. I want to keep track of all the new and varied experiences I'm likely to encounter as I spend my time on the African continent. I'm going there to attempt to be of service at a school that is getting financial support from a Canadian foundation. I'm also going there because it has been a long time dream to be in the land of my forefathers. I'm fortunate that I can wed my desire for meeting new people and seeing new places to a larger cause than merely fulfilling my wanderlust. Working in a school where young minds are being prepared for the future, where teachers are learning to adapt to new technologies presented to them and where parents are doing their utmost to put their children in the path of opportunity; is an awesome, challenging task that I believe will be extremely gratifying. I know I'm going to learn a lot on many different fronts.


Just to practice, I've thrown a picture of my Ontario winter environment that I may miss once the weather in SA starts to heat up, though it is winter there now.
